Description
The Past in Prehistoric Societies by Richard Bradley presents a compelling case for the continued relevance of prehistory as an area of research. By examining oral traditions and the impact of ancient material culture, Bradley sheds light on how people have formed their understanding of the past without written records. This book explores the ways in which archaeologists can study the origins of myths and the transmission of artefacts through generations. It also investigates how ancient remains can take on new meanings over time, and compares excavation and field survey techniques using detailed case studies. Fully illustrated and written in an accessible style, The Past in Prehistoric Societies offers a unique perspective on our understanding of prehistory and its continued importance in shaping our understanding of the past.
